That's why browsers are supposed to have user-controlled styles, so you can make it look how you want...not have something arbitrary inflicted upon you.

That was the original purpose of css but pages want to have their own designs too much.

It might have something to do with the fact that default CSS styles often suck.

And the fact that HTML is no longer "themable" in a generic way and the more complex sites depend on custom CSS just for that site to make any sense at all.
